Soul Gem

Soul gems are an essential component to successfully imbuing magical properties to an item or weapon in a process called Enchanting. The quality of the soul gem affects the potency of the resulting enchantment. Filled soul gems can be found throughout the world, but can also be created through the spellSoul Trap. Another way to easily fill soul gems is by getting the ConjurationskillSoul Stealer, which automatically makes bound weapons cast Soul Trap.

Filling Soul Gems necessitates the use of the spellSoul Trap or its similar enchantments on items and weapons. With the spell, you need to cast it on the non-humanoid target before its death so that its soul can be plucked and transferred into the smallest available Soul Gem in your inventory. The quality of the Soul Gem depends on the creature's level.
